Manual Upgrade Procedure
The ONIE installer, of OS versions 9.10(0.1P9) and later, changes the file system partition scheme to facilitate the installation of
certain third-party networking operating systems.
If you have installed Dell EMC Networking OS using the ONIE install option, you cannot downgrade from Dell EMC
Networking OS 9.14(2.10) to versions earlier than 9.10(0.1P9), using the upgrade system command, due to file system
partition compatibility issues. If you try to downgrade, the system displays the following error message:
DellEMC#upgrade system tftp: a:
Address or name of remote host []: 10.16.127.44
Source file name []: FTOS-S6100-ON-9.10.0.1P8.bin

To downgrade Dell EMC Networking OS version 9.14(2.10) to versions earlier than 9.10(0.1P9), follow these steps:
1. From the ONIE menu, use the ONIE uninstall option to uninstall Dell EMC Networking OS 9.14(2.10).
2. Use the ONIE install option to install the older version of Dell EMC Networking OS.
You can upgrade or downgrade to any version, if you have upgraded Dell EMC Networking OS using the upgrade system
command, instead of the ONIE install option.
The systems shipped with OS 9.14(2.10) and above might contain one of the following chipsets:
● BCM56960_B1 chipset with part number F6N2R or 6N1J1.
● BCM56960_B0 chipset with part number KPX54 or H68CJ.
You can check the part number using the show inventory command
In a system using BCM56960_B1 chipset, you cannot downgrade from Dell EMC Networking OS 9.14(2.10) to OS versions
earlier than 9.10(0.2), due to NPU compatibility issues.
In a system using BCM56960_B1 chipset, if you try to downgrade from OS 9.14(2.10) to OS versions earlier than 9.10(0.2) using
BMP or the upgrade command, the system displays the following error message:
